Beautiful views, comfortable accommodations, and the perfect getaway from screens, routines and responsibilities. From fishing to kayaking to swinging and eating blueberries, this island has it all! We had the best time with our crew ranging from age 4 to 51yo. The AC was much appreciated during the heat wave, the hot shower was a perk, and the cabin full of board games and books helped us enjoy the rainy days. The hosts were communicative and we had everything we could have needed. While the weekdays were peaceful on the lake, this was a very active lake on the weekends- be prepared to hear lots of neighborly noises including loud music until 10pm.

Everything we needed, and more!
We’d definitely stay again. This island had everything we needed and plenty of comfortable space for our family of 11. We played, ate well, slept well and contained us all to an island.

It was a great properity for a large family (2 adults, 6 kids). It was really fun getting out on the water and there was plenty of space for everyone to do their thing. It was a good set up for meals (did lots of grilling).

We had a delightful stay on Harper island. This is an ideal option for anyone looking for time with family & friends in a serene & private island setting.Daryn was responsive & helpful, the cabins are cutely designed, beds are very comfortable & the kitchen well stocked.Early mornings were peaceful waking up to the mist on the water til the sun came up. Ample number of hiking trails within 2 hours to choose any level of challenge.Winding down, enjoying a nightly fire pit once the sun set while hearing the loons on the lake was perfect A perfect balance of Rejuvenation & relaxation ;) we would love to make another visit out in the future!

Amazing "glamping" experience!
We loved staying on the island! Felt private and secluded yet only a minute boat ride from shore and town necessities nearby. The place had everything we could need from cleaning supplies to cooking essentials and plenty to do outdoors -- kid kayaks, adult kayaks, SUP, swim raft, bon fire pits, etc! Beds were comfy and wifi came in handy when needed. The host was very responsive to any questions or issues we had.

Amazing time with the kids. Definitely not for you if you aren’t used to glamping, boat use or “roughing it”, but, if you are, this is an absolute gem! The kids were busy consistently, lots of boats and floats to use on the lake. We played manhunt after dark, seriously, the kids had an amazingly good time. Only one tv on the island, WiFi in main cabin but the service was fine without the WiFi. Next year, it’s definitely going to see us again :)

Hidden gem right in the middle of the lake
We had a relaxing and chill stay, and would highly recommend.
Upon check-in we encountered a couple of minor issues with the water pressure and a sunroom light malfunction. Daryn is super nice - he was very responsive and took care of them right away. It took us a minute to get acclimated to the toilet, but that is part of the experience.
Helpful tips: bring k-cups with you, as there is no kettle. Make sure to load up on drinking water. We didn't use the other 2 cabins, but did notice there are no AC's.

Awesome in every way!
We loved our stay at Daryn's place on Harper Island and will definitely be coming back again. It was exactly as described, and it a wonderful location for those who are up for an adventure. The outdoor shower was hot, the beds comfortable, the kitchen well appointed, and we couldn't have asked for better sunrises and sunsets. There are two composting toilets, and I brought along our 2 gallon empty water jug for drinking water and sturdy, reusable grocery bags to fill before we headed to the island. I would recommend bringing both, along with rain jackets and headlamps, which will make transporting groceries in the rain and in the dark much more manageable. Aside from that, Daryn was super responsive and helpful at every turn. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you!

Very cool
My husband 4 kids + my older parents all stayed for a week here and had a blast! Not much to do in the area if your looking for that. My younger kids 4 & 6 loved the built in bunk beds in the main cabin it has a great fire pit for roasting marshmallows in front. The views are beautiful in the morning from the main cabins enclosed porch, spent a few night playing cards and listening to the loons! Main cabin is the only one with AC and WiFi which was a little difficult because we happen to go during a heat wave! My parents who stayed in the cozy cabin with the queen size bed were pretty hot and sweaty during the day. Daryn did have fans at night it did cool off a little but the humidity was brutal and of course Daryn can’t control that! I don’t know if it was the heat but my only complaint would be the ants and spiders! You are in NH so you shouldn’t be surprised but there is definitely a lot of spiders. My parents reported ants in their cabin but the main and kids cabin had very few if any ants. Kids cabin is directly behind the main cabin on the other side of the island which gave my two teenage boys privacy. They brought they’re own tv and hooked it up and used a hot spot to play video games and watch movies but the bunk beds were awesome in there as well.Daryn had plenty of lake floats and kayaks but definitely wish we had our own boat to go tubing! The terrain is very uneven and it was a little difficult for my parents, Daryn had most stuff stocked and it was very clean!
